The hours you work are the first thing you forget. See where your time went. Pomelo runs on the Pomodoro method: focused sessions with built-in breaks. But with lots of flexibility. It helps you assign tasks and log time for every session as it happens, so your day is recorded while you're in it. Daily stats show your focus time, sessions completed, and tasks done, to help you see where did you spend your time exactly.
